Feds: Jackson Jr. at meeting on senate seat/fundraising trade
2010-07-09
Federal prosecutors said Wednesday for the first time that U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. attended a meeting in 2008 at which $1 million in fund-raising for Rod Blagojevich was discussed in exchange for Jackson's own Senate seat appointment.

The meeting described by prosecutors was not previously disclosed by Jackson.
JJ Jr is in trouble. I didn't think so at first. I figured everyone was rallying around the feds to get Blago -- put his head on a pike and it would then be business as usual. But I'm beginning to wonder if the prosecutors have enough on JJ Jr to go after him just as soon as Blago is jugged.
The person who allegedly discussed the fund-raising with Jackson was Raghuveer Nayak -- the man who prosecutors have said offered Blagojevich more than a million in return for Jackson's appointment.

#3  Yeah, I don't see Holder doing anything to Jackson Jr. If this was an actual honest, law abiding country, Barry and the rest of the Chicago mob would be in prison. I'm not holding my breath obviously.

#2  Holder will have to pull the plug on prosecuting JJJr - jailing a Chicago black would be a racist 'proxy' jailing of Obama.

#1  "Yeah, but oh, I'm not going to rule it out"

How very refreshing is an honest answer.
